184G Avoidance involving losses: schemes converting income to capital

(1) This section applies for the purposes of corporation tax in respect of chargeable gains if conditions A to D are satisfied. (2) Condition A is that a receipt or other amount arises to a company directly or indirectly in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with, any arrangements. (3) Condition B is that— (a) that amount falls to be taken into account in calculating a chargeable gain (the “relevant gain”) which accrues to a company (“the relevant company”), and (b) losses accrue (or have accrued) to the relevant company (whether before or after or as part of the arrangements). (4) Condition C is that, but for the arrangements, an amount would have fallen to be taken into account wholly or partly instead of the amount mentioned in subsection (2) in calculating the income chargeable to corporation tax— (a) of the relevant company, or (b) of a company which, at any qualifying time, is a member of the same group as the relevant company. (5) Condition D is that— (a) the main purpose of the arrangements, or (b) one of the main purposes of the arrangements, is to secure a tax advantage that involves the deduction of any of the losses from the relevant gain (whether or not it also involves anything else). (6) If the Board consider, on reasonable grounds, that conditions A to D are or may be satisfied, they may give the relevant company a notice in respect of the arrangements (but see also section 184I). (7) If, when the notice is given, conditions A to D are satisfied, no loss accruing to the relevant company at any time is to be deductible from the relevant gain. (8) A notice under this section must— (a) specify the arrangements, (b) specify the accounting period in which the relevant gain accrues, and (c) inform the relevant company of the effect of this section. (9) If relevant gains accrue in more than one accounting period, a single notice under this section may specify all the accounting periods concerned. (10) In this section— “arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable), “group”, in relation to companies, means a group determined in accordance with section 170, “qualifying time”, in relation to any arrangements, means any time which falls in the period— beginning with the time at which the arrangements are made, and ending with the time at which the matters (other than any tax advantage) intended to be secured by the arrangements are secured, “tax advantage” has the meaning given by section 184D.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
